Default truss straps?

Never seen these used before on a MFG home? Any ideas? Inspected four of these and each had these straps.

Kevin:

Have never seen this type of roof on a manufactured (mobile) home. Have seen this type on a modular home.

Roof lies flat during transit and is lifted up ridge board(s) installed and fastned.

yes...it's modular sorry. Was wondering if these were used during final erection.

It keeps them in place when lifting the roof.
